ImWithStupid Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 Serious question here wez: What exactly is so bad about being called a "liberal" if most of your political views do indeed line up with liberals? My question is... Is it really that bad of a thing to be called a liberal even if most of your political views don't line up with liberals? It's not like calling a black person the "n" word or anything.
wez Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Serious question here wez: What exactly is so bad about being called a "liberal" if most of your political views do indeed line up with liberals? I don't know, you'd have to ask TJ.. I don't recall ever really having a problem with it. Nor do I go around calling people liberals.. I get called liberal. I don't have a problem with a word.. Extraordinarily accurate point. For the blind...
eddo Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 My question is... Is it really that bad of a thing to be called a liberal even if most of your political views don't line up with liberals? It's not like calling a black person the "n" word or anything. I dunno either. I didn't think the issue was actually about the word "liberal" until TJ said that is what it was. I have no doubt that wez saying it to TJ was intended as an attack, but thought the issue was more about the combative spirit of the reply than the word itself. I don't know, you'd have to ask TJ.. I don't recall ever really having a problem with it. Nor do I go around calling people liberals.. I get called liberal. I don't have a problem with a word.. . That is inaccurate. You have many times said you aren't a "word," but instead you are a "wez", and I have seen you tell Tj not to label you as such. In debates, especially political ones, it is helpful to know (and yes, even label) the parties involved, in order to follow their thought processes without them having to explain every single political view every single time. Know what I mean? I do it more mentally than in writing, but I most definitely keep track of my fellow debaters stances on things- to better understand their viewpoints. I just ask you to remember that while Wez was leaving me alone, there was not this kind of mess, Wez has started the same mess everywhere he goes. Extraordinarily accurate point.For the blind... Do you deny that these type of fights follow you around to every board you are active on? I'm trusted by more women.

It had nothing to do with you. TJ's label, not mine. Open your eyes already eddo.. If agreeing with TJ is an attack, what do you suggest? That is inaccurate. You have many times said you aren't a "word," but instead you are a "wez", and I have seen you tell Tj not to label you as such. In debates, especially political ones, it is helpful to know (and yes, even label) the parties involved, in order to follow their thought processes without them having to explain every single political view every single time. Know what I mean? I hereby label thee, dumbass. I do it more mentally than in writing, but I most definitely keep track of my fellow debaters stances on things- to better understand their viewpoints. Only way to do that is ask, not attach whatever you don't like to a word and create reality.. Do you deny that these type of fights follow you around to every board you are active on? Course not.. Hypocrites everywhere. Be alert!
